In the red corner it’s your unwanted wobbly bits. In the blue corner we’ve got knockout moves. Get ready to rumble, says Sophie Pittaway
There are way more benefits to combat training than you’d think. Not only is it amazing for stamina, strength, toning and core stability, but it really helps to focus the mind and all of our emotions. What’s more, after this workout you’ll feel parts of your body you never have before – which in itself is motivation to want to do more and more training. Eye of the tiger, ladies!
